"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."--Dr W. Dyer

We are making it through this season with its up and down weather and no-sunshine days. This month has the distinction of being near the end of winter, but still quite a ways from spring. The word most often used to describe February? Bleak. So why not fight the bleakness by looking at the bright side and doing some pleasant things this month.

Catch up with friends. Not through a device, in person.

Take a winter break. Anywhere.

Watch as many Oscar nominated movies that you can. Before the Oscars

Spend Valentine's day with someone you really love. Even yourself.

February doesn't have to feel dreary because it's all in your outlook of things. Another good way of lifting your spirits this month is coming into Raffinèe to see all the new spring and summer 2017 collections. Always an exciting time! Yes, it's still winter but it's also the perfect time to shop for the best selection.
